KNICKER CUFF.

Application filed August 25, 1924.1 SerialNo. 733,924.

Fig. 1 shows a side elevation of the cuffv of a knicker.

Fig. 2 an end view of the same. Fig. 3 a perspective view of. anordinarybuckle.

1 marks the knicker, 2 the cufi' on the knicker, 3 the slit in the lowerend of the knicker and 4 the overlap of the cufi at theslit. A strap 5is secured at one side of the slit 3 and an opposing strap 6 is sewed tothe cult at the opposite side of the slit. The strap 6 is looped arounda bar 7 of a buckle 8 and extended under a rear bar 9. The end of thestrap 6 has a button-hole l0 and the strap is secured on the button 11arranged on the cuff. The strap 5 extends under a securing bar 12 of thebuckle over the usual bar 13 and under the bar 9.

With this structure the buckle may be readily removed by unbuttoning theend of the strap 6, thus opening the loop, formed by this straparound-the bar 7 The portion of the strap secured by sewing at 6 5sustains the greater part 01" the strain because in carrying the looparound the bar 7 the strap is more or less locked against slipping. Thusat most the button canbe subjected to only half the strain of the buckleand in ordinary practice is subjected to considerably less than half thestrain.

What I claim as new is 1. In a knicker out, the combination of the cuffband; a buckle; a buckle securing loop looping a part of the bucklehaving both of its ends secured to the cuff band, one of the ends beingpermanently and the other detachably secured; and an opposing strap 4secured to the cuff band and extending into the buckle. p e 2. In aknicker cuff, the combination of a cuff band; a buckle; a bucklesecuring strap having one end sewed to the'cufi'band and the oppositeend secured to the cuff band by a button; and a strap secured to thecult band and extending into the buckle. v

. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my'hand.
